Institute for American Indian Art (IAIA)

At IAIA, the spirit and vision of Native American and Alaska Native people is our first priority. Founded on October 1, 1962, the Institute of American Indian Arts offers academic excellence to both Native and non-Native populations.

Picture a campus as a work of art—Architecturally significant contemporary buildings, state-of-the-art studios and facilities, and majestic surroundings. A center of art in a city of art.

Here on our stunning 140-acre campus in Santa Fe the beauty of learning is enhanced by the beauty of our surroundings. Our faculty and staff are accomplished and renowned. Artists and writers teaching artists and writers. The atmosphere is electric, a product of the creative energy that occurs when talented students interact with and are inspired by talented teachers. Our close-in, well-appointed student housing, close-knit community, closeness to a city with everything and more, and even our gourmet cafe, make IAIA not just a great place to study, but a great place to live.
